Anker Powerline II 3-in-1 Cable, Lightning/Type C/Micro USB Cable for iPhone, iPad, Huawei, HTC, LG, Samsung Galaxy, Sony Xperia, Android Smartphones, iPad Pro 2018 and More(3ft, Black)

I bought two of the Anker PowerLine II 3-in-1 cables, one from Anker through a special promotion and then another through Amazon without the promotion. The cables work exactly as you'd imagine, with a USB-A cable at the male end of the cable, and then three male adapters at the end of the cable. The main male adapter id a MicroUSB cable, one that would work on most traditional USB products, like most Samsung smart phones, the Xbox One controller, a PS4 controller, Anker PowerCore batteries, and most standard USB devices that support a MicroUSB port. From there, you can add small adapters onto the cable, one that supports Apple Lightning ports, which work in an iPhone or iPad, and then the newest USB type C devices, which are common in most newer USB devices like the Google Pixel, LG, some Samsung devices, Google Wifi, and other devices that USB C. The adapters are attached to the end of the cable and don't add very much bulk to the cable, they're pretty convenient.I bought it for one primary reason: My wife and I were expecting a baby and it was one of those utility cables that I knew that I'd end up using in the hospital because I thought at some point we'd probably one to charge a device, mostly our Kindle, iPad, MacBook Pro (2016+), our phones, both Google Pixel phones (Pixel XL and Pixel 2 XL), but also maybe even the Nintendo Switch. I also used this using a Anker power storage device with like ~21000 mAh battery which worked really well... this kept my wife's phone and other devices charged throughout the trip to the hospital and the ~2.5 days after delivery. We've been using this combination for about 5 days now, especially because it's tough for my wife to get around the house to plug in all of her devices, and it's become super easy. I can confirm that it works fine on our Kindles (two Kindle touch screen, the regular price one from ~2016 or so), but I haven't tried it on an iPad Mini yet, but I'd imagine it'd work just about the same as anything else would. I also haven't tried it on my MacBook Pro (2016 touch bar), but again, I have no reason to doubt that it'd work.The cable isn't long, I don't know the exact measurements, but it should be in the product details. The cord is not a threaded style like some of the of the other products that Anker makes, but it's still that typical rubberized coating that a lot of USB cables have. It seems pretty sturdy so far, and the length of the cable makes it less likely to bend at the connections because it's pretty short. A longer cable might be better for many people, but for our uses the thing works fine.One issue though, and this isn't one that i'd drop a star for it because I haven't seen any problems with it but it's something that concerns me, is that there's no USB trademark logo anywhere on the product. This really doesn't matter in most cases, but there's been some complaints from tech sites that non USB trademarked devices can sometimes be made shoddily and not regulate the power voltage that the devices are supposed to take. There's a few YouTube videos showing how cheap cables can show power voltage coming out of a charging device going into another device that uses, say, 5 volts, but then immediately unplugging that and plugging that into a device that uses 2.4v, it can cause trouble not regulating that and switching up. Again, I have not seen any of these issues in this model, but without the official USB license for the device it's something that I worry about... but this isn't something that I've seen with this product so I'm not dropping a square because it works exactly how it should manage so far.So far I'm liking it a lot and would recommend it for the price.

Amazing product! I love cords like this with the multiple connectors bc it makes life easier having an all in one that can charge so many different products. This cord from Anker is sturdy as well. Highly recommend!

I love the flexibility of having 1 cord for my multiple devices. It's been great for traveling...to be able to charge multiple devices (old kindle, ipod and cell phone) with one cord has been amazing. So great, that I now have 3. One in my office, one for travel, and one in my car. Can't say enough good about this. Whenever I look for tech wires, I immediately search for Anker. They haven't disappointed yet. Worth every penny!

I have an iPhone 16 (usb c), my husband has a 13 this cable works for both on CarPlay and charging. It also charges my wireless keyboard (micro usb), and other usb c devices.The reason I can’t give this 4 starts is the two adapters and the fact the base connector is not usb c. Micro usb is notoriously fragile, and this cable is no different. Also when you unplug devices often the adapter comes off, and with the adapters on the connector feels extra fragile.Cable is made on nice reasonable flexible plastic and the standard usb side is well built. It also comes with a cable tie and coils up well.

Multifunctional and seems very durable right out of the box. Have gotten some great use out of this already. The length of the cord feels just right, not too short but also not obnoxiously long. I keep this one in my work bag and it has come in handy everyday so far. Will definitely be purchasing one for the car as well, that way any passenger with any device would be able to recharge.

Love this charger! Makes it easy to switch between devices that have different ports and the charging time is pretty good. I use this charger for my CarPlay and my iPhone 13Pro charges pretty fast when getting to and from work.

This charger looked flimsy enough that I thought that having an inconsistent charge was something normal for this Anker product. However, I realized too late that an overpriced charger should not have this issue so I contacted customer service.I have never encountered customer service that is as unwilling to simply replace a defective product as this brand. I have often run into defective issues with Anker and they consistently treat me like I don't know how to use their products, and then they do not help me with my problem. I have explained this issue in full detail, included a picture of my charger with the Anker logo, AND had a picture of the Amazon purchase with the order number in my email. They ask you to troubleshoot the item as if you don't know how chargers work, they make you confirm that you have done all of the troubleshooting requests, and then they give you ANOTHER list of information to write in the email so that they can move on with the warranty.However, I was just missing one piece of information and they were like nope, we can't help you anymore. I just HAD to have the serial number of the product (although I had full proof of purchase). It was likely on the box that I threw out months ago because I thought I wouldn't need it. Boy was I wrong. This little mistake that I made cost me and they will not go on with the warranty if you even have a single piece of information missing. Now, they are suggesting that I have to ship the charger back WITH MY OWN MONEY so that they can do a "quality inspection".Do not buy from this brand. Or do it if you don't mind dealing with horrible customer service if your product decides to break on you one day.

After 5 months of use, the cable stopped working in the middle of my vacation. Thankfully Anker stands behind their products and issued a hassle free replacement. Just had to provide the serial number which is printed at the base of the cable where it says Anker.
